Testing loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
Loop quantum cosmology predicts that quantum gravity effects resolve the big-bang singularity and replace it by a cosmic bounce. Furthermore, loop quantum cosmology can also modify the form of primordial cosmological perturbations, for example by ...

Loop Representation of Quantum Gravity
A hyperlink is a finite set of non-intersecting simple closed curves in $\mathbb{R}^4 \equiv \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^3$, each curve is either a matter or geometric loop. We consider an equivalence class of such hyperlinks, up to time-like isotopy, preserving time-ordering.

Loop-Quantum-Gravity Vertex Amplitude [PDF]
Spinfoam theories are hoped to provide the dynamics of non-perturbative loop quantum gravity. But a number of their features remain elusive. The best studied one -the euclidean Barrett-Crane model- does not have the boundary state space needed for this, and there are recent indications that, consequently, it may fail to yield the correct low-energy $n$-

Loop quantum gravity and cosmological constant
A one-parameter regularization freedom of the Hamiltonian constraint for loop quantum gravity is analyzed. The corresponding spatially flat, homogenous and isotropic model includes the two well-known models of loop quantum cosmology as special cases. The

Emergence of string-like physics from Lorentz invariance in loop quantum gravity [PDF]
We consider a quantum field theory on a spherically symmetric quantum space time described by loop quantum gravity. The spin network description of space time in such a theory leads to equations for the quantum field that are discrete.

The problem of finding the quantum theory of the gravitational field, and thus understanding what is quantum spacetime, is still open. One of the most active of the current approaches is loop quantum gravity. Loop quantum gravity is a mathematically well-

Loop Quantum Gravity and Observations [PDF]
Quantum gravity has long been thought to be completely decoupled from experiments or observations. Although it is true that smoking guns are still missing, there are now serious hopes that quantum gravity phenomena might be tested. We review here some possible ways to observe loop quantum gravity effects either in the framework of cosmology or in ...
